TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) – Larry Fitzgerald was quick to rebut a tweet by his father criticizing the Arizona Cardinals organization after the six-time Pro Bowl receiver caught just one pass in the team’s 18-17 season-opening victory over San Diego.
Larry Fitzgerald Sr., a reporter for a Minnesota newspaper, said in his tweet, “The world saw on Monday night football the politics and business of football. If it’s been decided that you are not getting the ball, just win.”
Larry Fitzgerald Jr. sent out his own tweet Tuesday night.
“My fathers inflammatory comments don’t reflect my feelings or mood,” the younger Fitzgerald wrote. “We’re 1-0 & working tirelessly to be 2-0 this week that’s my only concern.”
On Thursday, the Cardinals’ all-time leading receiver elaborated, and tried to make light of the situation.
